Gambling careers: A longitudinal, qualitative study of gambling behaviour (2013, methodology): “…30s) This kind of changed perception points to a phase of ‘maturing out’, which has been applied to drug users (Winick, 1962), as well as, more recently, to gambling behaviour and involves the creation of new roles and identities that overcome those based around gambling (Reith & Dobbie, 2012).”
Recovery and desistance: what the emerging recovery movement in the alcohol and drug area can learn from models of desistance from offending (2017, unknown): “In the area of recovery from gambling problems, Reith and Dobbie (2012) have argued that moving away from gambling can be conceptualised in terms of new roles that are linked to new activities – new job or training opportunities or the development of new relationships.”
Perceived stigma and self-stigma of problem gambling: perspectives of people with gambling problems (2016, background): “Scheff (1966) argued that labelling an individual’s behaviours as a condition triggers stereotypes and social rejection, a view also advanced for problem gambling (Castellani, 2000; Cosgrave, 2008; Reith, 2007; Reith & Dobbie, 2012).”
